Innovative, impactful, and market-ready — the winning solutions from this year’s HKUST-SINO One Million Dollar Entrepreneurship Competition have not only impressed the judges but also captured the attention of Hong Kong’s business community.

Our center is dedicated to connecting HKUST startups with the market. We were honoured to welcome members of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce (HKGCC) 香港總商會’s Industrial & Technology Development Committee to The Base at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, where we met some of this year’s awardees.
 


Before diving into the sharing session, Cyrus Choi, Assistant Director of the HKUST Entrepreneurship Center, provided an overview of the HKUST startup journey and showcased several innovative products developed by our student entrepreneurs.

Our winning teams presented their solutions to the committee members, receiving valuable feedback and insights from industry leaders. We are grateful to these professionals for sharing their expertise and engaging in meaningful exchange during the solution-sharing session.
